The Forham College Republicans were not officially censored, but they were treated by the Fordham administration and others on the Fordham campus in a manner which caused them to self-censor.

The persons (more on that later) at the Fordham Republicans who made the decision to rescind the invitation to Coulter should have shown more backbone, but that’s easier said than done when young people are relatively isolated on a campus and facing a firestorm of criticism to which the University administration was a party.

That self-censorship, when the result of inconsistenly applied standards by the head of a University, is just as pernicious as the real thing.

Perhaps the “Father” supports involuntary population control through eugenics, its voluntary follow-on “Roe vs Wade”, or their euphemistic successor, “reproductive rights”. He wouldn’t be the first hypocrite to sponsor intentional or accidental subversion from within.

As for the rest, he is apparently a greedy bastard, as are we all, but most in moderation. However, where we favor voluntary (i.e. economic and charitable) exploitation, he seems to prefer involuntary and fraudulent exploitation.

Both of the Father’s implicit positions are contrary to his faith. God does not favor slavery and He values individual dignity. He certainly has a vested interest in preserving the intrinsic value of human life. His test is of individual conscience.

Despite the protestations of freedom of religion as relates to contraception etc, the church in general remains a tool of the left. It has been that way for decades so don’t expect any meaningful change in the near future.

Professor, I take issue with your comment here: “The persons (more on that later) at the Fordham Republicans who made the decision to rescind the invitation to Coulter should have shown more backbone, but that’s easier said than done when young people are relatively isolated on a campus and facing a firestorm of criticism to which the University administration was a party.”

This is really about leadership and backbone. It was spineless for the ‘pub students to cave. Putting another face on it is what gives us the weak party leadership we suffer today. The damned ‘pubs ALWAYS cave. They won’t or don’t know how to street-fight. They need to stand up and start swinging a ball bat when these leftist reptiles start spewing their dogma and spin instead of tucking their tails between their legs and slinking off in fear of the slimestream media and the mobs of alinskyite hounds set by their community-organizing commie masters.
